When asked to comment on a proposal by Dennis Foianini, Campus party candidate for stul dent body president, for a "little) bookstore" which would grow in. future years, Robert Harrison, University party candidate for student body president, said "if we get the go-ahead, we might as well go about it in a big way " However, Duane Alexander. independent candidate for stu dent body president, said that because of space and money re straints we should start the project on a "limited basis." One of the new topics which came up for discussion was a student government policy on dis crimination in campus organiza tions. Harrison said that he did not feel that SGA could make fra ternities and sororities strike dis criminatory clauses from their charters, but could state its dis approval of the discrimination. Foianini said that student government should take a stand against discrimination because it is against the "law of the land." However, he said he did not feel that an organization should be forced to admit some one just to prove themselves non-discriminatory. ' It is up to each group to take its own stand on the matter, but SGA should voice its disapproval, Alexander said, The candidates had different ideas on supporting a car cara van to Harrisburg to "back the Penn State budget." Alexander said that the cara- 1 van would not accomplish its pur pose and that the legislators might react in the opposite way from our wishes. "After the Penn State Glee Club sang a lack the budget' tong to the legislature last week, any other attempt to get our• appropriation could look ridiculous." Foianini answered. Harrison said he felt that there was nothing basically wrong with the idea as long as it would be a peaceful demonstration.

THURSDATMORNING, APRIL 27. 1961 Insurrection Leader Prisoned in France ALGIERS (iP)—The leader of the four-day Algerian army insurrection was clapped into a French prison yesterday and his lieutenants fled into hiding as President Charles de Gaulle reasserted his rule over Algeria. Gen. Maurice Challe, retired air force officer and leader of the insurrection, flew to Paris and surrendered. He was taken to prison in the capital to await trial and, possibly, a death sentence. , Challe's top aides, Gens.

Karhan, associate pro fessor of music, in an Artists Series concert at 8:30 p.m. Tues day in Schwab. Student tickets will be available at the Hetzel Union desk SGA Rule Explained By Sloane James Sloane, president of the freshman class, said last night he believed that when Dean Wharton, sophomore class president commented that he would like to see elections for class presidents in the spring he must have been under the im pressi on that class presidents would not be included in the Stu dent Government Association. After a meeting with the sub committee of the SGA reorgani zation committee, it was agreed that class presidents should be on SGA, Sloane said. Sloane said that the freshman class advisory board voiced dis approval of spring elections for a class president. "I think one reason for the ad visory board's dissension is that we're in the midst of many big things, such as the selection of a queen and class night," Sloane said. Since the revised SGA constitu tion will not be presented for an other two weeks it will be too, lee (Continued on page eight) ~.,•~..,~,. ~ ~.w,~,.~. MEE from 1:30 to 5 p.m. tomorrow and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Non-student tickets will go on sale Saturday at $1.25 each. Schuman will be accompanied by the string• orchestra in the Vi valdi "Concerto for Oboe and Strings," and Mozart's "Diverti mento for Oboe, Horn, and Strings." The full orchestra will play a "Prelude and Fugue" by Han del, and the "Lieutenant Kije Suite" by Prokofiev. Schuman, who has just returned from the Casals Festival in Puer to Rico, has toured extensively in 'Europe as soloist and principal oboe of the Piccola Accademia Musicale, an Italian Chamber 'or chestra. He later toured under the auspices of the U.S. Army as first oboist and assistant conduc tor of a symphony orchestra. Schuman has conducted for films, is musical consultant to Brandon Films, and is conductor of an amateur orchestra in Man hattan. He has also presented concerts in Germany. The oboist is a member of the Symphony of the Air and has performed and recorded with both this group and the Columbia and RCA-Victor Sym phonies. The Vivaldi Concerto is one of a series of string-orchestra works with various solos, including bas soon, and mandolin. The orches tra will include a harpsicord for presentation of this work.

Troops were ordered to bring them and three colonels before a special military court on charges of organizing insurrection and usurping power. . De Gaulle has not yet disclosed whether Challe, stripped of his rank before he surrendered, will be tried as a soldier of. as a ci vilian. On this issue could depend whether the 55-year-old officer faces a firing squad or the guil lotine if convicted. The possi bility of a death sentence was largely discounted in Paris, however. De Gaulle moved quickly to fill the vacuum created in Algeria after the revolt collapsed. Louis Joxe, French minister for Alger ian affairs, and Gen. Jean Olie arrived by plane from Paris to take control. They met immediately with De Gaulle's civilian administrator, Jean Morin, who a few hours earlier had been a prisoner of the insurgents. In Paris, Premier Michel Debra warned, Frenchmen that the insurrection in Algeria might force the government to impose greater discipline on the nation. In a nationwide television and radio speech, Debre said the mili tary opposition might strike again. Why Challe surrendered instead of fleeing into political exile was an unanswered question. Some ob servers speculated he is simply man enough to take his medicine now that he has lost. Others felt he wants to make propaganda at a trial. Bernreuter Disapproves Of 'March' Robert G. Bernreuter, spe cial assistant to the president for student affairs, said yes terday that he feels that a student march on Harrisburg would do more harm than good. In opposition of Bernrcuter's idea, Rigoberto Juarez-Paz, assis tant professor of philosophy, said he is in favor of a student march on the capitol and tlnit he was willing to march with the stu dents if they go. Bernreuter said that he thinks "a few girls going down there would be considered a lark by legislators, rather than a serious attempt to influence legislation." "If students .want guidance on how• to favorably influence legis lation on the University's pro posed budget they should talk to the people who are highly in fa vor of it the congressmen for this district. Then they should fol low this advice," Bernreuter said. On the other hand, Juarez-Paz said that he feels that a student march on the capitol might dram atize the needs of the University. "I think it would be more effec tive than asking the students to write their congressmen," ho said. "It should be of equal interest to the faculty that the budget re quest be approved," Jaarez-Paz (Continued on page five) FIVE CENTS
